We recommend investing into this ability if it works with the build you are running. Although this skill will not be quite as useful as some of the other skills, it certainly has its uses, and it certainly will not hurt to have. While it may seem a bit niche, you can invest into this skill if you have already built your more important skills, and have extra points to spend.
This skill can greatly help you early in the game since drinking a number of potions might get you to exceed your safe threshold. Also, this skill loses its value as you progress further in the game. When you already have a stable build, you will have had fully upgraded and equipped skills that solve your Toxicity issues.
If you are running a build that focuses on drinking a lot of potions early in the game, then you may invest in this skill. You can also invest in this skill if you prefer to be able to drink a lot of potions before starting combat.
